The long stare at the audience at the end of the play. Playwrights will LMAO.

An endearing moment between father and daughter that earns its sweetness while dealing with a tough topic - mourning and grief loved one. Intense, intimate, FRANCE IS BACON is a play that you will want to schedule for any festival on family issues.

An unexpected character for a monologue -- a dog trainer for Hollywood. With a lot of heart and a lot of humor, Gallant captures a unique relationship between animal and human that we haven't seen on stage before (or read on the page). We get a window into the world of Hollywood's use of dog actors and a beautiful adoption story.

Line by line, beat by beat, tactic by tactic, Gallant knows how to structure her monologues to develop action and emotional plot to bring the most out of an actor.

I'd love to see an evening of Gallant's monologues.

Poetry in motion. Expansive in emotion and intensity. One of the most beautiful solo plays I've read.

The image in your mind during reading this -- I would love to see actors and designers bring the hilarious situation to stage. Maybe on stage across the street from a church or in a downtown park.

I would love to see this staged. Maybe a spotlight on a teddy bear in a crib, no actor, just a voiceover. We can have theatre without an actor on stage.

I would love another scene! If not, what a great play for senior actors. It's rare to have a play with THREE roles for senior actors.
This one of Lermond's most poetic plays and most affecting in its thematic expressions. Poignant, funny, this romantic comedy will win over your audience.
Siblings will relate to the bickering between the sisters, and anyone who hasn't had a date or an interest in a serious relationship again could relate to Phyllis.
Also this is a great play for a scenic designer--how do you create a rocky shore in Maine on stage?

How does Miss Ella know this truth about love and lust? She must know from experience. She's warning someone dear to her, but you learn a lot about this woman, her perspective on life, love and sex in less than page. Another voice from Lermond that leaps off the page.

Packs an emotional punch in one page. A memorable portrait of a young mother in distress.

Builds from sisterly banter with laughs every page over a recipe on Zoom to an intimate, heartbreaking convo on loss and mourning during Covid. Every line seems perfectly crafted. You'll be in awe at the end of this play. If you're involved in Zoom theatre, read this, produce it NOW. Most ten minutes are forgettable, not this one.
